OCG Rulings

If "Marauding Captain" is Normal Summoned by the effect of "Ultimate Offering" in the middle of a chain (and is not the last step of the chain to resolve), then you have missed the timing on his effect and you cannot activate his effect to Special Summon a monster from your hand.[1]

Previously Official Rulings

These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[4] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

If your opponent activates Torrential Tribute in response to the Summoning of Marauding Captain (by chaining to is Trigger Effect) all monsters on the field will be destroyed, and then you Special Summon for Marauding Captain’s effect. If they wait and activate Torrential Tribute in response to the Special Summoning of a monster for the effect of Marauding Captain, then all monsters will be destroyed including the newly-Special Summoned monster.

King Tiger Wanghu: If "King Tiger Wanghu" is on the field and "Marauding Captain" is Summoned, "Marauding Captain" can still activate its effect and Special Summon a monster even though "Marauding Captain" is destroyed.

Patrician of Darkness: The effect of "Patrician of Darkness" does not override the effects of "Marauding Captain"... You cannot choose an attack target prevented by the effects of these cards. Examples: ...You cannot choose another Warrior-Type monster as an attack target when you control "Marauding Captain".

Royal Oppression: Example 1: If "Marauding Captain" is Normal Summoned, its effect activates. You can chain to this effect by activating the effect of "Royal Oppression". The effect of "Marauding Captain" is negated, no monster is Special Summoned, and the "Marauding Captain" is destroyed. (The monster your opponent intended to Special Summon with the effect of "Marauding Captain" remains in his hand.)
